The following items are being sold by John Gibson jrg@woh.rr.com
1. SOLD-----------------------------WWII
Collins No.18 Knife----Possible Raider Knife----The blade is 9 1/8" long and has age
darkening and old surface rust. It is marked "Collins & Co. / Legitimus / Made in
USA / No.18" at the ricasso. I bought this knife thinking the handle was horn and I'm
not convinced that it is not. The handle, guard and blade had been blackened. I lightly
started to clean the handle and then stopped. I thought it best to leave that to the
owner. The sheath is the original Collins marked sheath. It has a brass tip with an EGA
that was added to protect the tip of the blade. The brass tip is a very old repair and not
new. Ref: Cole III pg 136 & 175----$ 390.00 2.

marks. The blade is 7" long and in excellent condition. The guard has the Rare
straight line USN mark with this USN mark on both sides of the guard. I have only seen
this mark a couple of times. The leather handle is nearly unused but unfortunately has 4
dryness cracks in the leather washers. It comes with a nice USN marked leather scabbard.
